Has anyone got one of these. I am wondering if they live up to their claims.
Thanks
cj :)
i love mine, tim i think has them as well
lbb
Thanks. Maybe I'll give them a go. There are lots to choose from at Lidl this week ;D

I think they're great, I've got a muffin tray and a loaf 'tin', both are fab. The muffins/loaves slip right out, which is especially fab for gluten-free baking (the only kind I do) as it can be fragile.
Also, they're really easy to clean since nothing sticks!
i love my one and must buy more they are only £2.99 in sainsburys how much are they in lidl?
hi
if you go to their website you can see what the offers are this week
Love mine also. Have 2 loaf tins, 3 muffin tins, a selection of moulded cake tins, like santa, a butterfly, roses etc, and a silicon baking sheet - this needs to go on a regular sheet but it is non stick, cooks evenly and is so easy to clean. Wouldn't be without mine. A lot of mine also came from lidls.
I love mine and they are very easy to store and clean. I would recommend putting them on a solid tin when you place them in the oven as they will bend, not good when doing cupcakes, but they seem to get a better result than metal. Just remember not to use a knife when removing things from them:)
Thanks for the advice. I went out and bought a large ring mould and one with 6 small rings on.
Big ring is baking a lemon cake at this very minute ;D

no thanks i'm sweet enough!! ::) ::) ;D
Just been to Lidl for my silicon bakeware. Annoyingly, the best quality silicon (thickest) were the Christmas shapes, which I didn't want; the plain moulds are rather thin and weak. But they cost almost 4 times less than the silicon loaf tin I got from John Lewis, so I reckon they're still a good deal! No reason they shouldn't last indefinitely. Got a couple of the loaf tins and a silicon mat.
Also got myself an insulated mug; I'm thinking that will come in handy for keeping a hot drink hot, while I'm out in the garden this winter. ;D
Just got cake out of oven. The top was stuck!!!!!! >:(
Sooooo, I have a rather ugly but very tasty lemon cake. Perhaps I should have left it in for a bit more, but the skewer came out clean ???
Ah well, someone will have to eat it anyway :P ;D
cj :)
I'll confess that I do oil my silicon moulds - I was never quite confident of the 'nothing sticks' claim. Oiled, they turn out spotlessly! (Shoulda said that before you made your cake, shouldn't I? Sorry!
I cook yourkshire puddings in mine, none of this heating the tin with oil in it first! If I am feeling chicken or make a thick batter I give the "tin" a quick squirt of oil (pump dispenser thingie) and then put the batter in, perfect :-)
Got too many different ones to list!
In tiny writing on the cardboard insert, it said to grease before first use, so I did that. The outside layer was a bit on the crisp side when I peeled it off the mould.
So I am wondering if I would have been better not greasing it, or cooking it at a lower temperature ???
Anyway, when covered with lemon icing, it looked a treat, and the taste was unaffected :P ;D
How successful are the christmas moulds?
Anyone got any pics of cakes they have made using them?
cj :)
Thought you might like a pic of my disaster cake. Its amazing how distracting a bit of icing can be ;D
Sorry , only half left by the time I thought to take pic ::)
